These are the mean values from

Korea has four seasons, with a wet
monsoon/summer in the middle of the year,
and a cold winter from November to March.
The island of Jeju off the southern coast is
the warmest and wettest place in the
country. The ideal time to visit Korea is
during the autumn months
(September-November). During this time, the
country experiences warm, sunny weather,
skies that are cobalt blue and spectacular
foliage that is perhaps the biggest draw.
Winters are cold and dry and are a good time
to visit if you are interested in winter
sports as there are numerous ski resorts.
Spring (April-May) is also beautiful with
all the cherry blossoms in bloom. However,
it is very busy and one needs to book in
advance to ensure accommodation is
available. The summer months are muggy and
hot, and rather crowded. It is also when the
monsoon begins so many activities are
subject to the fluctuations of heavy rain
Part
of the East Asian Monsoon region, South
Korea has a temperate climate with four
distinct seasons. The movement of air masses
from the Asian continent exerts greater
influence on South Korea's weather than does
air movement from the Pacific Ocean. Winters
are usually long, cold, and dry, whereas
summers are short, hot, and humid. Spring
and autumn are pleasant but short in
duration. Seoul's mean temperature in
January is −5 to −2.5 °C (23 to 28 °F); in
July the mean temperature is about 22.5 to
25 °C (73 to 77 °F). Because of its southern
and seagirt location, Jeju Island has warmer
and milder weather than other parts of South
Korea. Mean temperatures on Jeju range from
2.5 °C (36.5 °F) in January to 25 °C (77 °F)
in July.

The country
generally has sufficient rainfall to sustain
its agriculture. Rarely does less than 750
millimeters (29.5 in) of rain fall in any
given year; for the most part, rainfall is
over 1,000 millimeters (39.4 in). Amounts of
precipitation, however, can vary from year
to year. Serious droughts occur about once
every eight years, especially in the
rice-producing southwestern part of the
country. About two-thirds of the annual
precipitation occurs between June and
September.
South Korea is
less vulnerable to typhoons than Japan,
Taiwan, the east coast of China, or the
Philippines. From one to three typhoons can
be expected per year. Typhoons usually pass
over South Korea in late summer, especially
in August, and bring torrential rains.
Flooding occasionally causes considerable
damage. In September 1984, record floods
caused the deaths of 190 people and left
200,000 homeless. This disaster prompted the
North Korean government to make an
unprecedented offer of humanitarian aid in
the form of rice, medicine, clothes, and
building materials. South Korea accepted
these items and distributed them to flood
victims.
